This week's planner pages feature a beautiful, Autumn leaf themed layout using the gorgeous watercolour stickers from Violet LeBeaux. Here in Australia we're in the middle of Autumn and I couldn't pass up this sticker sheet. It also gave me a chance to use a very different colour palette - pinks and oranges. I've also (continued) to enjoy adding some more three-dimensional elements - like the puffy stickers "Best Day" this week - just to add something extra. it adds texture without adding a huge amount of bulk everywhere.

As always, feel free to add questions or comments below and I will  definitely get back to you!

Hello, friends! I hope you've all started to recover from the Christmas weekend!

This is a bit of catch up post, sharing some unboxing videos I finally managed to upload during the week. So, scroll down and take a peek at the December Brimbles Box, Brimbles Geek Box, my Black Friday Studio Calico haul, my December Citrus Twist kit and the "Goldie" collection by Seven Paper.

What subscriptions are you looking forward to in 2016?

I'm beginning to think that my Citrus Twist Pocket Life Kit subscription is my all-time favourite scrapbooking subscription box. Not that I've had all that many, but of the ones I've tried, I definitely think it's great value for money.

For those who are unfamiliar with it, Citrus Twist has a few subscription services, as well as an online store. I'm subscribed to the Pocket Life Kit ($19.50 US/month) and the Stamp Kit ($4.25 US/month).

Check out the goodies in this month's box in my unboxing video below:

Sadly, this week there is no Decorate with Me video - as I went to film this week, my tripod broke! Needless to say I was both upset and annoyed. I have, however, ordered a new tripod, which should hopefully arrive next week so I can get back to filming videos. 

I did try to capture each step of my decorating process for you guys for both my monthly view (September) and weekly view (August 31-September 6).

A few of my washi tapes this week are from Studio Calico (black and white floral, gold polka dot, teal 'feather' pattern), some from Typo (pink and orange squares) and all others I picked up from Etsy. Die cuts are from Amy Tangerine Stitched die cuts and some Amy Tangerine rub-ons. Stamps are a Heidi Swapp roller date stamp and also one set from Citrus Twist.

Welcome back to this week's Decorate with Me video.

After the success of the first sped-up Decorate with Me video, I've followed suit with another one.

This week's decorations were inspired by some transparent embellishments I received in Studio Calico's Fairground Project Life kit. Lots of colour this week!

Check out the video (don't forget to like and subscribe!), and then check out some close up images below! As always, I love to hear from you guys!

This week's layout is a bit of a hodgepodge of colours!

Usually when I decorate my planner, I pick a fairly simple colour scheme - about 3 different main colours so as not to overpower the layout itself.

This week, however, I've got a bit of rainbow thing happening and it's all down to the 'around here' banner. The background is a digital background paper I made (let me know if you're interested in me uploading those for purchase in the comments) and printed on sticker paper. I embossed it using gold metallic embossing powder and an Ali Edwards stamp.

I actually had a really difficult time choosing washi tapes that fit the same colour schemes, hence the mishmash of different styles and colours.

The purple paint splatter tape is one of my favourites.

And I'm continuing my new favourite technique of stamping words along the inside edge of my planner inserts. This week I used a different Citrus Twist stamp set to last week's pages, but it's still pretty fun!

I like it because it's subtle, but it still has enough of an impact to be interesting without overpowering everything else on the page!

Don't forget to leave comments or questions below, or even links to photos of your planner pages! I'd love to see them.

I had a few subscription boxes come in last week and I've got unboxing videos for each of them!

First up is a brand new subscription - Citrus Twist. I'm trying this one out to see if I prefer it to my Studio Calico subscription. I'm thinking of changing things up for a little while.

Finally, there's the Happie Scrappie Planner Kit. This is the first time I received this kit and it's a lot of fun if you're in to decorating your planner!

What are your favourite subscription services? I've tried loads over the last 12-18 months and I have to say I'm currently enjoying this craftier-based ones. Leave me a message in the comments about the ones you like.

Happy weekend!
